Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB98/00100 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 14, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 14, 1999 PCT Filed Jan. 13, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO98/32009 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 23, 1998A gas-sensing semiconductor device 1 is fabricated on a silicon substrate 2 having a thin silicon oxide insulating layer 3 on one side and a thin silicon layer 4 on top of the insulating layer 3 using CMOS SOI technology. The silicon layer 4 may be in the form of an island surrounded by a silicon oxide insulating barrier layer 4 formed by the known LOCOS oxidation technique, although other lateral isolation techniques may also be used. The device 1 includes at least one sensing area provided with a gas-sensitive layer 18, a MOSFET heater 6 for heating the gas-sensitive layer 18 to promote gas reaction with the gas-sensitive layer 18 and a sensor 16, which may be in the form of a chemoresistor, for providing an electrical output indicative of gas reaction with the gas-sensitive layer 18. As one of the final fabrication steps, the substrate 2 is back-etched so as to form a thin membrane 20 in the sensing area. Such a device can be produced at low cost using conventional CMOS SOI technology.

Abstract: A novel process for the selective elimination of fatty acid compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds in trans configuration from a substrate containing cis- and trans-isomers of said fatty acid compounds, by selective adsorption by a microporous zeolite material is disclosed. The pore size and shape of usable zeolite materials enable differentiation between cis- and trans-isomers of unsaturated fatty acid chains. The zeolite materials used have a selectivity ratio alphatrans/cis higher than 1.00; this ratio is defined based on the elution properties of cis and trans double bond containing fatty acid methylesters dissolved in n-hexane during a column chromatography experiment with the zeolite material as the stationary phase and n-hexane as the mobile phase. Besides selective adsorption of trans-unsaturated fatty acid compounds, simultaneous or subsequent total or partial hydrogenation of the double bonds in said compounds can be carried out while using the same or similar zeolite material, containing finely dispersed catalytic active metals. The majority of these catalytic active sites must be inside the pores.

Abstract: An artificial capillary testing apparatus (ACTA) is provided for evaluation of gas transport/exchange properties of a fluid. A sample fluid, having a known of measured partial gas pressure, is introduced from a gas-tight dispenser into an artificial capillary of known diameter located within an exchange chamber containing a flowing exchange gas. The artificial capillary is formed from a permeable material which permits gas exchange between the interior and exterior of the capillary. After exit from the artificial capillary, the effluent fluid is collected in a gas-tight collection cell, then removed from the apparatus to a gas analyzer to measure partial gas pressure, The dispenser, exchange chamber and collection cell are all enclosed within a temperature controlled cabinet, useful in measurement of oxygen transport properties of hemoglobin in blood or blood-substitutes. Flowmeters and other measurement devices can be inserted along the pathway upstream and/or downstream of the artificial capillary to provide additional data. The amount of target gas transferred out of the capillary for a given length is calculated as a function of the gas diffusion constant, the partial gas pressure gradient, the capillary radius and length, the flow rate, and the distribution of gas in its various phases. For evaluation of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, an empirical diffusion constant is calculated as a function of the diffusion in O2 partial pressure at the capillary, the Hb concentration, the flow rate, the known oxygen equilibrium curve (OEC) of the sample, and the cross-sectional area and length of the capillary.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle famille de composés à base d'inadone et de tétralone liant la tubuline qui, contrairement aux composés classiques de ce type inhibant la mitose parmi les cellules en voie de division affectées, possèdent les deux caractéristiques uniques suivantes : (1) ils induisent l'apoptose dans les cellules malignes en phase stationnaire (qui ne sont pas en voie de division), mais sans nuire à la viabilité des cellules normales non proliférantes; et (2) ils affectent les cellules ayant acquis la multirésistance médicamenteuse, en agissant plus puissamment que sur les cellules dépourvues de cette résistance. Ainsi, les composés considérés donnent la possibilité de cibler les cellules malignes en chimiothérapie, même après l'échec de thérapies antérieures, sans affecter les cellules et les tissus normaux chez le sujet.

Abstract: Fibres are attacked by chemicals. Fibre surfaces are treated with a watery alkali solution which roughens them. The amount of surface roughening, through the alkali, is determined by the weight related shrinkage of the material. The fibre material, especially as micro-fibres, is worked into a woven or knitted fabric, to be treated with at least one chemical which attacks the fibres such as a lye. Other fabric processing and finishing, such as dyeing, can be before or after the alkali treatment stage. An Independent claim is included for a cleaning cloth as a woven or knitted fabric especially of micro-fibres, treated with an alkali solution. Preferred Features: The cleaning fibres are ≤ 20 ( ≤ 10) dtex thick. The treatment with the alkali solution gives a weight related material shrinkage ≥ 5% ( ≥ 20%). The woven or knitted cleaning cloth (13) has a trimming of polyester micro-fibre loops with a thickness ≤ 10 ( ≤ 1) dtex. The loops have a minimum length ≥ 4 mm ( 8 mm). A second cleaning cloth is at the opposite side of the trimming at the first cloth (13) with a trimming of fibres with a water absorption rate ≥ 600% ( 1000%) of its own weight.
